We will recommend Rosendal Country Retreat to anyone.

The Retreat was certainly a (re-treat). A very relaxing time with an excellent host.

Lovely stay.

We had a great stay. Service was excellent and we really appreciated all the little touches, like the loaf of bread and jam, rusks, etc. The room was very well appointed, very spacious and comfortable.

Very Pleasant.

The place is perfect for a whole lot of occasions. It is perfect for both leisure and business travel. The staff is very friendly and because we are in the winter season, we had wood to make a fire the whole entire stay. No hurdles, everything went as smoothly as expected.

The service in this small town is amazing.

The hosts were great in all respect honestly. We arrived late and they had prepared things that made our stay pleasurable. Hot water all the time. The gas finished and was replaced within minutes. Cleaning service was spot on. The restaurants in the area are limited but the Service Station was such a great restaurant we tried. They had home made sauces which made the food a lot tastier. The area is quiet and really a great retreat to go off-grid. you can do yoga, hiking etc. Unfortunately, the weather didn't permit any of these for us but conditions allow.

Stunning decor in a calming environment.

Highly recommend The Rosendal Country Retreat. The staff is friendly and helpful and the place is decorated beautifully and tranquility. Lots of extra touches like delicious homemade bread and rusks are provided. Do follow the staff's directions as the potholes are crazy, but the destination is definitely worth it.

Luxurious accommodation, but virtually inaccessible road.

The road between Senekal and Rosendal is a nightmare, and makes the trip to Rosendal memorable for the wrong reasons.

Amazing

Our stay was beyond amazing. The staff members were so welcoming, the rooms were cosy, comfortable, simple yet elegant. The roads leading there were terrible but Rosendal made you forget that as soon as you got there. The views are breathtaking, we drove around the small town and I was so amazed by the diversity, I say that because small towns tend to have a reputation for being small-minded, but there was nothing of the sort there. I 1000% recommended this place,10 stars!

Peaceful and beautiful stay.

We would have loved to have used the hot tub the entire weekend which was our main attraction to the place, but it wasn’t as clean as we had hoped. It has slimy things moving around and the water didn’t look clean at all and my wife got a bacterial infection from the water.

The Rosendal Country Retreat 's response

We apologise greatly for the unpleasant experience. We appreciate all feedback, thank you and strive to improve.
Unfortunately, the hot tub is for communal use and on busy weekends, it has to be shared between guests.
We drain, clean and refill the tub every 2 days, when we have guests.
Windy conditions in a dusty environment also leads to the tub getting contaminated with environmental pollution, but we will definitely work on achieving better results in future.

Wouldn’t recommend it.

Don’t like the location. The road to Rosendal is horrible and the gardens are not private.

The Rosendal Country Retreat 's response

We are so sorry that you did not enjoy your stay at The Rosendal Country Retreat.
We would really like to better our service and is open for suggestions. Although we have been in talks with the province, we have no indication on when the roads will be upgraded. I am sorry that you did not feel save. There have never been any incidents at the retreat, and we know all our guest and their belongings are safe.
As for the location, this is the Eastern Free State at it's best, but maybe not everybody's cup of tea.
